VPN client connects to server, no access to folder shares

Post by Partymananth » Wed Jun 10, 2026 8:12 pm

Hey all!
I have ran into an issue recently with a couple of vpn clients that can connect to the vpn server but cannot connect to network folder shares. Other users dont have this issue on their clients. Could this be an IP conflict issue? or the users home router?

any guidance is greatly appreciated!
thank you!

Yes, their routers must be on subnets different to the server's.
